Why Can’t I Hear God Talking to Me?

Answer:

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the
fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son . . . (Hebrews 1:1-2).

2 Timothy 3:16-17; Proverbs 30:5-6

So, Alyssa, you can’t actually “hear” God, right? Well, our verse tells
us that long ago, before the Bible was ever printed, God did speak to
people. He spoke so they would know what He wanted and so they
would know Him. He only spoke to those people He chose and they
shared God’s words with the others. But you see, those people way back
then did not have the Bible, God’s written word. We are so blessed to
have God’s Word. It is like a long letter from God. This letter is like other
letters you might get from your mom, grandma, or a friend. When you
read a letter, you know that someone is “talking” to you, don’t you? It is
the same with the Bible. We don’t need to hear God out loud because
we can “hear” what He has to say by reading the Bible. We think it might
be easier if God would just speak out loud and then we would know
what He wanted. But He promises that if we study His word we will get
to know Him. We need to read it and study it. We need to trust it. When
we do that, we WILL hear God through His Word!
